7 Thou madest him 13 || a little lower 13 than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, Band didst set him over the works of thy hands ẞ: 8 m Thou hast put all things in subjec-m tion under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. now we see not yet all things put under him. 9 But 14 we see Jesus, who was made. 15 a little 15 lower than the angels 16 || for the suffering of death, P crowned 14 with glory and honour 16; that he 8 by the grace of Godß should taste death for 17 every man 17.

10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and 18 by whom 18 are all things, 19 in bringing 19 many sons unto glory, to make the 20 captain 20 of their salvation "perfect through sufferings.

11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified y are all 21 of one 21: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

12 Saying, "I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the 22 church 22 will I sing praise unto thee.
